To succinctly summarize the top three problems of summer, the list goes something like this: heavy rains, crowded porches, and crumpled clothes that no iron can help. Or rather maybe, but only for the first five minutes. If you have linen in your wardrobe, you know exactly what we’re talking about.
In fact, the topic of what is always crumpled can be safely classified as “about pain” and discussed for a very long time. But today we decided to dot the i’s and find out which fabrics are least prone to breakage.
This stuff contains synthetic, natural and mixed ingredients that are definitely worth a note for anyone who is sick of steaming several times a day.
synthetic fabrics
Polyester
This synthetic material is one of the most unpretentious. It does not shrink when washed, is resistant to high temperatures (i.e. does not fade in the sun) and practically does not wrinkle. Some things don’t need ironing even after washing. And no, this is not a polyester ad. Synthetic fabric also has disadvantages, for example, it can electrify and attract dust. But if your main condition when buying is not wrinkle-free, 100% polyester is suitable.
neoprene
The next candidate for the title of most wrinkle resistant fabric is neoprene. Previously, only diving suits and other work clothes were created from this synthetic material, but now designers often try it. Although neoprene is quite soft and elastic, wrinkles are rarely left on it. That’s why a dress or skirt made of this material for cool weather is what you need.
natural fabrics
Silk
Unlike artificial silk, natural silk practically does not wrinkle and has high hygroscopicity (the ability of the material to absorb moisture). Yes, soft folds can form on things, but in the process of wearing, they straighten out. When buying silk products, it is very important to pay attention to its composition and price (a product made of natural fabric cannot be cheap). And to check the quality, you need to squeeze the fabric in your hands – if there are almost no wrinkles, then the silk is natural.
grim reaper
This fabric cannot wrinkle as it is already wrinkled. The jersey of the harvester is heat-treated and then twisted in a special way that allows you to get a fabric with a wrinkled effect. Things made of this material are unpretentious in care and do not need ironing at all. Meanwhile, recently the fashion industry has also been promoting the shrinking technique trend. Last year, kink pieces appeared in Burberry, Prada and Undercover collections.
Wool
Wool is definitely not a summer material. But given the current weather conditions (we imply heavy rains and a temperature of +15 in the morning), it will work. Here it is important to note that wool can be different, and today we will talk about costume wool. It is famous for its density and practically does not wrinkle. Why practically? Because everything depends on quality. If it’s high, the thing will serve faithfully for more than one season, and if it’s low, you’ll need to be prepared to use a steamer.
blended fabrics
Blended fabrics are good because they combine the advantages of natural and synthetic fibers. For example, in the case of polycotton, the natural component (ie cotton) will provide high breathability while the synthetic component will provide crease-proofing. By the way, the amount of cotton in the composition usually does not exceed 40%. Also, when buying, you should pay attention to such combinations: nylon, spandex and cotton; viscose, elastane and linen, acrylic, viscose and wool.
